Sales schedules and sales contracts

Infor LN FP5

In Infor LN FP5, a sales schedule can be created if item – sales business partner information is set up in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session. It is not mandatory for a sales schedule to have a linked contract

However, a sales contract can be linked to a sales schedule line in the Sales Schedule - Lines (tdsls3107m000) session to retrieve prices and discounts. At schedule line level, these prices and discounts can be manually changed. If the schedule has a linked contract, it is unlinked.

New in Infor LN FP6

In Infor LN FP6, the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is introduced in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session.

If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected:

  • A sales schedule can only be created if it is linked to an active sales contract.
  • Logistic agreements, which are needed for schedules, are retrieved from the new Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000) session and no longer from the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session. The Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000) session appears as a satellite in the Sales Contract - Lines (tdsls3600m000) session.
  • Contracts are linked at sales schedule header level.
  • Prices and discounts, which are always retrieved from the contract, are stored at schedule line level. You can only update prices and discounts on the contract and not on the schedule line.

In addition, the following fields are new in the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session:

Note

If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is cleared, the old Infor LN FP5 functionality applies.
